The collection consists of letters written by Edward James to his wife Elizabeth Harrell James in Fitzgerald, Georgia, before
and after they were married. The letters give details of the camps, towns where he was stationed, his bombardier training,
and the bombing missions. He gives descriptive details of the Okinawan people, houses, crops, and typhoons. The letters to
his wife are both romantic and sexually explicit. During World War II many of his letters discuss his future plans of owning
a farm.
